Happy Birthday to me!

So, today was my 27th birthday! I don't feel a day over 24! :)
Joseph has been so great today (like he's not every other day, but today was extra special). Last night at midnight, he gave me a bunch of my favorite flowers, Stargazer Lilies and my first present. He handmade an FHE board for me! It's not completely finished but you get the idea! I'll post another picture later once it's complete. I couldn't believe he made it himself! He's so creative! Then, this morning he dropped Jonathan off at our sisters house and let me open my next present, but he made me do a kind of scavenger hunt to find it. They're shoes made for barefoot running and I am so super pumped about them! My friend, Lindsey introduced me to them from her blog and I had to have them as soon as I saw them! They're on back order so I won't get them until the end of this month, but when I do, I'll be sure to write a full review! :) Then he took me to breakfast at Cracker Barrel, and we got a Willow Tree figurine and two jars of my favorite candy growing up as a kid, Assorted Sours. You can't find them anywhere anymore, but apparently they're at Cracker Barrel!
Then, we went home and changed to go to Denton's water park, Water Works. But before we left, I got to open another present, the Settlers of Catan game.

If you haven't played, you should. So fun!
After the water park, we picked up Jonathan and went to dinner at one of our favorite restaurants, Sweet Basil. We've been going here since we were dating so it definitely holds a special place in my heart. We had so much fun, just the two of us! Joseph and I haven't had a whole day alone together since Jonathan was born, so I truly appreciated this! I definitely have the BEST HUSBAND EVER!

Erin!! Remember that lunch bunch at your house a while back? Well...a bunch of us were exchanging blog addresses...and I finally got around to actually visiting the blogs :)

Your blog is so cute. Happy belated birthday! It sounds like Joseph really made it special. I love your barefoot running shoes - I saw a guy in those on TV and I was like "cool!" So now you'll be the "cool" one (will you wear them to church please??) ;)
